Chapter 171 - Ru & Sensei
Meanwhile, Ye Jie coincidentally also came to the illusion nightclub with Ye Jun. Obviously, Ye Jie was there for some business while Ye Jun tagged along for fun.
Ye Jie went to the private room on the 3rd floor leaving Ye Jun on the 2nd floor for his so-called fun. The moment Ye Jie opened the door of the private room, he heard a cheerful voice, "Ye Jie! Finally, you have some time for your friend."
Ye Jie gave a bro hug to Wayne Chu and smiled, "It’s you who hasn’t been in the country for a while now."
Ye Jie knew Wayne for over a decade now. They met in Country A while Ye Jie was there on vacation. Wayne’s family background was almost similar to Jun Li Na’s with dealings in the underworld.
Wayne nodded agreeing with him and said, "Fair enough. I was in Europe for some business."
They both sat the couches as Wayne took the couch facing the door and Ye Jie took the couch beside it which was in a bit of darker side of the room.
"So, how’s your wife? I haven’t even met her yet," Wayne remarked taking a swig of his drink.
Thinking about Xu Mey made Ye Jie smile like a lunatic which wasn’t unnoticed by Wayne at all. "She’s perfect."
"Woah! Bro, are you that much in love with her that her flaws have become perfection to you now?" Wayne questioned with interest.
"Yes…… I am so deeply in love with her that I don’t find her shortcomings to be noteworthy. Because her flaw makes her flawless for me."
"I think defining your love as deep is not enough anymore."
The chatter between the friends continued while in the room next door, Azalea was relating the whole incident of her encounter with Ye Jie from the time they first met to the point where she got into the accident.
He Jian was clenching his fists tightly. The thought of his only cousin sister being in a coma was too painful for him. On the side, Xu Mey was feeling guilty for not telling He Jian earlier. Therefore, she picked up a drink and gulped it down in one go.
And after one drink, she couldn’t stop her hand from stretching out to get the second one and then the third and then the count was lost. The drinks turned out to be too strong for her. She felt a bit dizzy and decided to go for some fresh air.
She walked out and went to splash some water on her face. But when she came back, instead of opening the door of her room, she opened the door of the room right beside hers.
There were only two men inside, one was in the dark so Xu Mey couldn’t see his face but the one at the front looked familiar to her with his American-Chinese features.
"Sorry!" She apologized and closed the door.
While Wayne was staring at the closed door with complexed feelings, Xu Mey was standing outside trying to remember where had she seen that guy. Suddenly it struck her and she slid open the door again.
Poor Wayne who was already in shock almost jumped out of his seat when she opened the door again. "Wayne Chu?" Xu Mey called his name with glimmering eyes.
Wayne clutched his chest with one hand and said, "Great aunt, what have I done that you’re back?"
Seeing him acting so meekly, Xu Mey frowned. "I just came to say hi. What’s so wrong with that? Am I not allowed?" While Wayne was thinking for a reply, she went on, "And why are you so scared of me?"
Wayne snorted. "I’m not scared of you." Xu Mey arched her brow. "I’m scared of the one behind you."
Xu Mey looked behind herself and innocently replied, "But there is no one behind me."
Wayne wanted to puke blood at her words. Was she for real? And when did she become cute and innocent? "I didn’t mean literally."
"Oh……" Xu Mey said in realization and added, "Then are you scared of my Sensei?"
"Who else is behind you that can scare me?" He questioned with indignation.
"Aye! My Sensei is not that scary as much you make him seem."
"Sometimes I even doubt that you know the real side of your Sensei or not?" Xu Mey scowled at his statement but he disregarded it. "Have you ever seen your Sensei with a sword?"
Xu Mey tapped her chin in thought and replied, "Nope!"
Wayne shook his head. "Then you really don’t know what kind of a monster your Sensei really is."
"Oi! Don’t you dare say anything about my Sensei! I’ll chop you into pieces myself." Xu Mey pointed a stern finger at his face.
"I might not be as important to your Sensei as you are but trust me, I’m quite useful to Lord myself," Wayne said with a prideful look. "Lord won’t be so unreasonable to let you go unscathed for cutting me into pieces."
"My Sensei cares for me more. He’ll definitely not say anything to me." She glared and without waiting for his reply, she walked out of the room.
All this while, Ye Jie stayed quiet in the corner without moving or saying anything. He was in deep thoughts.
After she left, Ye Jie spoke up, "Wayne, do you know her?"
Wayne looked at Ye Jie and smiled bitterly. "She’s my death sentence."
"What do you mean? And are you really scared? I’ve never seen you being scared of anyone." Ye Jie probed.
Wayne sighed. "I’m not really scared of her. But the one behind her is my boss. How can I not be scared of him?"
"Your boss?"
"Lord Alev!" Wayne answered with a face filled with respect.
"You mean Europe’s, Lord Alev Knight. The one that owns the Knight Empires?" Ye Jie asked again.
"Yes…… One and only, Lord Alev Knight. I respect that person more than anyone in this world but I really don’t understand his care for this President Xu Mey." Wayne was scowling while Ye Jie was having a turmoil inwardly. "I just remembered, your wife’s name is also Xu Mey. What a coincidence that is. I hope your wife is unlike this one."
Ye Jie didn’t pay attention to what Wayne was saying, he was lost in his own thoughts. ’Lord Alev? Ru? Ru is the one who owns the Knight Empires and she’s also the one behind the name, Lord Alev Knight. But Ru can’t be behind Xu Mey…… What if Ru is Sensei Xu Mey talks about?’ He shook his head getting these ridiculous thoughts out of his mind but it didn’t work. ’Ru can’t be Sensei. I talked to that person and he didn’t sound anything like Ru…… But…… Ru has been an expert at changing her voices since she was young…… But she still can’t be Sensei…… Because…… Because…… Ru never liked interacting with people and Xu Mey seems really close to her Sensei while Ru would never allow anyone near herself even more so a girl.’
He raked his fingers through his hair in frustration. ’If you’re Sensei, Ru. Then who is Xu Mey to you? And what game are you playing?’
